The planned acquisition of privately held PopCap could reach a total value of $1.3 billion, said EA. PopCap, whose titles include “Bejeweled” and “Plants vs. Zombies,” makes games played on game consoles, mobile devices and PCs.

EA has agreed to pay about $650 million in cash and another $100 million in stock for the deal. EA also has agreed to pay as much as $550 million in earnouts if certain financial milestones are met by the end of the 2013 calendar year. The deal is expected to close in August.

In its statement about the PopCap deal, EA included some financial estimates, including its view for an adjusted loss of 5 cents to 15 cents a share for the second quarter of fiscal year 2012.

It also now expects first-quarter adjusted revenue of $500 million to $525 million. It has previously expected adjusted revenue of $460 million to $500 million. EA also now expects a first-quarter adjusted loss of 37 cents to 40 cents a share. It had previously forecast an adjusted loss of 44 cents to 49 cents a share.
